WATCH: Chucky is scarier than ever in new Child's Play trailer

Move over Annabelle, the scariest doll in cinema history is making a return and he looks as terrifying as ever in the new trailer for Child's Play.

The modern-day remake of the 1988 classic stars Aubrey Plaza who gives her son a doll — who just so happens to be a vicious killer. Whoops.

The 1988 flick became an instant cult classic as the creepy doll, which housed the soul of serial killer Charles Lee Ray, struck terror into kids everywhere and spawned a whole series of sequels.

The new trailer shows a new, updated version Chucky, but he's up to his old tricks, torturing Andy and his mother and it definitely looks like he is as maniacal and murderous as ever.

That's us not sleeping for at least a week.

The Child's Play remake is just another in a never-ending fecking series of horror movie remakes.

Just yesterday, the trailer landed for the remake of Pet Sematary, which likely hopes to cash in on the success of the 2017 It remake — which proved an unlikely hit, even with die-hard Stephen King fans who were sceptical about rebooting the fan-favourite film.

Thankfully it worked, but while we really loved the It remake, we'd love some more original horror, please, instead of rebooting and rehashing tired ideas.

The only saving grace here is that Child's Play also comes from the producers of It so hopefully, it will live up to expectations.
